what ended up happening was suburbanites turned on the democrats and we got richard nixon. we can prematurely declare these things sometimes. a cautionary note. >> goldie, the piece says today's gop is taking its cues from john calhoun and his belief in nullification. the idea that states can ignore federal law. he writes it's not a coincidence that the resurgence of nullification is happening while our first african-american president is in office. how du the gop reach out to a broader demographic when we see how it's treated this nation's first black president? >> that is the grand irony but the truth of the matter is they're not only hearkening back to calhoun, but they're playing the script of kevin phillips who was the chief architect of the southern strategy. this was the chaining together of those southern confederate states, those 11 states, with what was happening out west and up through the midwest, and he said at the time we can frankly do without manhattan. we can do without new york. we can do without chicago. we can do without all these major city that is were

so when ronald reagan and richard nixon had to go up against a media culture that absolutely hated them, that despised them, that ran them into the ground every night and there was no conservative outlet, they won 49 states. listen, i'm a conservative. i like conservative outlets to go to when i get frustrated looking at the mainstream media. but for people that think, chris, they have to stay in this little box, i've got bad news for you. it's not working. >> well, rush limbaugh's a great example, guys, because he's enormously successful. he makes a lot of money and he deserves it because he's a great showman. but he basically place to a very narrow cast of republicans, usually middle aged white men. i'm not knocking him, but that's never going to be 51% of the country. he knows who his market is, guys driving around, marketing salesmen in car, he tells them they're the greatest guys in the world because they're carrying the load in this country and those -- he plays to them. it's brill. but it's not 51% of the country and that's why it disserves the republican party to listen to this

nixon in the 1970's, overwhelming support by the senate and died on the president's death. this isn't the first time that the president is thinking of some sort of bold plan in his second term to try to do this, but it's at a heavy, heavy cost and the benefit is the question. we have a 48-year-old experiment that may it will us something about whether or not this will work, it's called head start. we've spent untold billions on head start since the johnson administration received more publicity, good publicity than any other federal program and the results are in. no long-term benefit to head start. now, why is that? i'm not against head start on principle. why hasn't it worked? shouldn't we figure it out before we mandate for everyone. >> you're talking the health and human services, while it helps them become more, kindergarten through third grade shows no benefit. as opposed to the control group and for what the president is proposing, 98 billion dollars over ten years, again, i think that people might be willing to pay that if it showed what the president was promising
